my momma robinTN loved bc.org, it was a big part of her life. she loved her bc family.  Thank you all for the gifts/blanket and flowers during moms hospital stays.  i wanted to update you all, she has been very sick since Oct 2008 and has not been able to talk to you all but she talked about you often. i have received private messages from some of her old friends and im thankful for the thoughts and prayers. Mom went to be with the Lord on june 29,2010. i miss her so much and im sooo proud of her. she was such a figher and been through so much from IBC that had spread to her liver twice the second time she had 13 tumors in her liver, she won that fight, then it spread to her brain and with the help of brain surgery she was alive another year. I am greatful for every day i got to spead with my mom. for the past year she was in the bed however we kept her home and took care of her, she ended up getting a bad infection in her lungs and was in an acute care hospital for the last 6 months, she passed away with a nasty infection she also ended up getting DIC where she was bleeding to death it was HORRIBLE! of all the suffering ive seen my mom go through that was the worst to see blood coming out of her month,nose, ears,, anywhere possible.. it breaks my heart....  however she did not know anything as she was in a coma stage and that is a blessing. she now has the healing she had been searching for.  i miss her sooo much. 

Thank you all for the prayers

    karen, I'm so sorry for your loss. My mom died of cancer, too. As a nurse, I have attended many deaths, and I totally agree with you--DIC is horrible, horrible, horrible. I am so sorry you had to witness it with your dear mother. She was so lucky to have you by her side.

    You'll never stop missing her, but one day it will be just a little easier.

    Blessings,

    Anne

    Karen, thank you for letting us know.  I had corresponded with your mother via PM and one time had the opportunity to speak to her on the phone - I was driving through your area and we unfortunately just missed the opportunity to get together.  I have thought of your mother often and wondered how she was doing.  I feared, since she was not on the board, that things were not going well. Your mother was, as you said, a very strong women and she made it through some terrible ordeals. I was amazed at her strength.  I am so sorry to hear about what she had to endure at the end.  I wish she was still with us but I am greatful that she is now at peace. 

    My condolences to you and your family.  I wish you peace and strength.  You will always have the wonderful memories of your mother and I hope that soon those memories make you smile.

    thank you Anne. 

    the DIC was the worst ive ever seen,, and whats sad they couldnt do anything to help her.  i never thought something would be so horrible i really hope that isnt something many people suffer from because the effects on the family its hard to handle. i miss her so much but im trying to keep my faith strong and just knowing that she is free of pain and suffering.  she was 48,, just way too young to die but she suffered so long now i know she is healed. thanks for your kind words

    hi Beesie,

      im so glad my mother got to speak to you on the phone, she used to be very active on bc.org. she has brain surgey oct 2008 and lost the left side of her body so was unable to do much like type on the computer however she never gave up she was happy just to be alive.  so many people were amazed by how strong of a person she was, we had so many doctors tell us so many times that this was it, the end however she made it another year after that,, was told 6 months ago and she made it 6 months ago. she loved every day that she had and im so thankful she was my momma.  i think about her everyday and i hope she is still with me i sure do talk to her like she is,, i know it helps me.. i have wonderful memories even tho she was so sick - cancer took a lot away from us but it will never steal the memories i have of my moma.

    Karen.....

    Your mom was one of the strongest most determined women I've known.  She loved you guys and her grandbabies more than life.  She has found peace and is no longer suffering.  I loved her to bits and will always hold her in my heart.

    Hugs,  Liz

    thank you all for the kind words. my mom was a wonderful person indeed.  i pray that i will be as good of a mother to my daughter as she was to us. i miss her so very much but it helps knowing she is at peace and with our Lord.  I can not wait untill the day i can see her again. her body is resting about half a mile from my home and we walk to see her often i love i am so close to her.  her husband as many of you know is a true jerk however the house is in his name i look for him to kick us out any day now but i am staying as long as i can as i want to be close to my momma but really i dont guess it matters where i am because she will always be with me in my heart.. right?  they say time will heal the pain of losing my mom but honestly is that true? i cant see myself ever being okay that my mom is gone.  when i think about the fact that she is gone... gone my lifetime it breaks my heart that could be who knows how long but i miss her i cant say it enough. please pray for me i really need it during this hard time in my life

    Karen:  I'm so sad to hear of the loss of your mum.  You have been an amazing daughter and she will always be with you in spirit.  She must have been very proud of you. She was too young to have to fight IBC and everything else she went through. God bless and big hugs.

    Karen, your mother was a tremendous fighter against breast cancer.   Her name has been added to the List of Angels in Commemorating Loved Ones.  I am so sorry for your loss.
